On September 15, 2022, RGA announced a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding 6.20% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Debentures due 2042 (the “2042 Debentures”) at a price of $25.20 for each $25 principal amount of the 2042 Debentures. The tender offer expired on September 22, 2022, and a total of $151 million, or approximately 38%, of the aggregate principal amount of the 2042 Debentures were tendered. The Company intends to redeem the remaining debentures in accordance with the indenture governing the 2042 Debentures.

This security has been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The net proceeds were approximately $690 million and a portion was used in part to pay for the tender offer of the 2042 Debentures.
